Wow, that is thoroughly intriguing! I never really thout about Abberline as a boy or any of the reasons for why he came to be an Inspector but you've provided a very possible reason, owven into a very well written story. I hope you do continue and do a sequel to this, I really like your style of writing and you've portrayed Abberline's character really well. This story is great so well done to you and I hope that you shall write more :)
